[QUOTE="BOZ, post: 2828373, member: 1241"] I'm finally getting around to using these guys, and I want to know more about them. I wanted more information on their history, both as a "group" (insofar as they can be thought of as a group, since they most certainly don't cooperate), and as individuals. Specifically, I mean the original five: Cryonax, Imix, Ogrémoch, Olhydra, and Yan-C-Bin. I have heard somewhere that they were involved somehow in the ancient wars between Law and Chaos, siding with the Queen of Chaos against the Wind Dukes of Aqaa. Got any more insight on that? Did the Age of Worms involve them at all (even tangentially)? I read Erik Mona posting somewhere that Ogrémoch was mentioned in Dungeon #124, for example. What was the extent of their involvement? Were they not also involved somehow in the original Temple of Elemental Evil module, and/or involved with Tharizdun? Weren't they claimed to have been spawn of Tharizdun/Elemental Elder God? Could anyone elaborate on that? Is there any other information that I need for their origins or involvement in other plots or major events? What sources can I go to, to read more about them? Whatever gaps we have, I have no problem inventing, but I want to know what I don't need to make up. ;) Known sources the Elemental Princes of Evil have appeared in include: Fiend Folio (1981) Egg of the Phoenix (both versions, though I12 has a lot more info) Manual of the Planes (1987) Planescape Monstrous Compendium III The Inner Planes Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil Dragon Magazine #285 Any others?
